A dangerous precedent

Rutland Herald

The recent involuntary manslaughter charges against Craig Mosher because his bull escaped from its enclosure sets a dangerous precedent. If this is allowed to continue, what happens to the homeowner whose dog or cat escapes and crosses the street? What happens to the farmer when his cows get out? And if a moose or deer crosses the street and gets hit and causes an accident, which state official gets charged? This is a tragic loss for all but nothing more than an unavoidable accident.

The state needs to drop this charge immediately on the man who single-handedly reopened Killington to the world immediately after Hurricane Irene.
